BEKEY is looking to hire an International Sales Consultant

BEKEY A/S is 100% owned by the listed company North Media A/S. North Media Group was founded in 1965 and is today a group with 672 employees and a turnover of approximately 1.2 billion DKK.

In 2009 BEKEY was founded to solve a problem that started with a simple question “All delivery personnel have cell phones, why can’t they just get access to the buildings with those, instead of depending on a tenant buzzing them in?” From this question came BEKEY’s first product – a Smart-RELAY system designed for opening the front door of apartment complexes with your phone. This product is now installed in 40% of all apartment buildings in the Danish capital Copenhagen and more than 20 % of all Danish municipalities use BEKEY’s access control system.

NETKEY sits at the heart of BEKEY. The name is used for both the backend – securely storing permissions and controlling the distribution of keys to individual users’ devices – as well as the web-based administration panel used by business customers and BEKEY personnel alike.

BEKEYs backend is a distributed software application, able to scale to hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users with response times measured in milliseconds, and flexible enough to support different types of access control hardware. The backend features integrations to external authentication and care planning systems (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory, KMD Care, KMD Nexus) and provides a comprehensive API for integration of third-party systems.

BEKEYs web-based administration panel NETKEY is built in a modular way and relies on user permissions to make features available to different audiences. It is thus able to cater to BEKEYs operations department and BEKEYs distribution partners – e.g. for managing customers – as well as business and government customers, who use the intuitive UI to manage users, installation jobs, addresses/devices and of course grant and revoke digital keys. Built solely on top of the backend’s API, NETKEY also serves as a showcase for the features possible with a direct integration between BEKEYs solution and third-party systems.
